Summary
High primary health care (PHC) workforce turnover and few Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff in rural/remote areas affects community trust and cultural safety. This impacts health care quality and costs. This Indigenous-led project sees local communities in four rural/remote areas driving new workforce plans with PHC services and partners. Implementation with continuous evaluation and adaption will increase workforce stability, trust, engagement and health improvements.
